What kind of moderation should Twoism.org adopt?


Dear Twoism members,

Since its beginning, Twoism has been a space where people come together through a shared love for Boards of Canada and related topics. Over the years, this forum has always embraced a wide range of conversations, sometimes sharp, sometimes philosophical, sometimes deeply personal.

But times change, and so does the internet. That’s why we'd like to hear from you: how should Twoism approach moderation in the future? There’s no right or wrong answer, this is an opportunity to reflect together on what we want this community to be, and how we interact with one another.

Please take a moment to vote in the poll. Your input will help us shape the future of Twoism in a way that reflects the values of its members.

Help we’re fighting,
Twoism crew

What do you make of this?

Port Sulphur was formulated upon Douglas MacIntyre recording tracks as a member of Sexual Objects with Boards of Canada producing. The fusion of the BOC electronics with the SOBS’ Velvets’ drones became a sonic template for early Port Sulphur recordings. Another influence was Bowie’s 1977 game-changing album, ‘Low’.

Could A04 actually be “Slap Your Mammy” by Boomer?

Re; the reupload of Dayvan Cowboy, before anyone is angry at the rather naff AI upscale of it, I would say HOLD YOUR HORSES!!! to think how BoC have used AI before, like on the "I Feel Good" video using wombo.ai, and that case of a photo of Mike Sandison on instagram from a while back which had been heavily processed with AI. (The common non-obsessed BoC fan might not know about this so I understand any complaints)

So yeah they have used it before, and you might think at surface level that this is a poor show and you might be disappointed, like many in the comments of the video are, but I think this is some commentary, possibly on the broader use of AI to upscale SD media that has significant value to an audience. Daft Punk's Interstellar 5555 just got re-released in cinema's and there was upset as to how it was upscaled for the occasion. BoC's use could go a little deeper towards speaking on that.
Boards of Canada whether you like it or not, they dabble with Artificial Intelligence. :|

Now, it's nice to see it! Uploaded for the 100,000 subscriber milestone o'er on youtube. "Invocation" (the little video at the end that was on Japanese Trans Canada Highway CD copies, has been added :wink: )

Well.... correction, the comments aren't mostly about AI, it's just the lovable nutters elsewhere (discord wink wink), that have that as the current talking point.
I do like how the AI made some shots really bad but while bad, also in a kind of surreal, trippy way, I'm talking more about the latter half of the video than the first.

I think AI used in this way isn't horrible, just upscaling which is fine. Using AI to create new things is where most people have issues with so I see this as a non-issue currently. For sure much more interested in the A is to B is to C section at the end and what that could possible be hinting to.
